LLM use keeps making my coworkers stupid

I came across this video earlier that captures something I've been trying to articulate to a lot of people for a while now:

Last year my current company insisted that everyone start using AmazonQ for pretty much everything related to software development. A lot of them were already using ChatGPT, but Q integrated directly into our tools and would generate the code straight into their editors. Up until this point, I had seen dumb stuff slip in every so often, but it was usually a specific chunk of bad code that I could highlight in a review and comment "redo this, it doesn't work/is badly written/has security problems" and they'd go fix it.

and then they started using AmazonQ and jesus fucking christ it got bad.

One of the most egregious examples is a team member I assigned a ticket to, like a really basic thing you'd give an entry-level employee as a task to get them familiar for how to get code changes approved and merged in, on a Monday. Two hour task from start to finish, but he dragged it out until Friday. 4pm on Friday. An hour before I leave for the weekend on Friday, this man sends me an EIGHT HUNDRED LINE LONG change request.

I did not read that shit until Monday morning and dear god. It was 800 lines of pure slop.

It referenced hard drives we don't have, programs we don't use, commands that are not available in our tool and, worst of all, attempted to purge the entire results folder at the end of the run. So it would not have worked and then to cover its own ass it would have deleted the record it ran! and the records from every other run!!

When I confronted the guy, it was absolutely insane, like talking to a fucking wall. He genuinely thought his code was perfectly good and that I was just being a huge asshole about it, and when I questioned him about the blatant errors this motherfucker deadass said, "well, Q didn't see a problem with the cleanup. Have you tried asking it if maybe we should be clearing the folder every run?"

Like dude! My guy! If we delete everything in that folder it deletes the program! The program you ran the pipeline specifically to make!! That we need to send to the customer!!!

And this is just one example. I've been seeing shit like this all the time. Developers are working slower and making worse things but think they're doing a better job because Amazon fucking Q told them they're doing a great job. They keep going to the Tells You How Great You Are machine so much they're starting to believe it when it compliments them to increase engagement!

idk where else to go with this. These tools are not only making people worse at what they do, they're giving them false confidence that they're actually getting better. It is extremely frustrating.

(also this is a new theme I'm testing, it may look a little funny while I work the bugs out)
